Harry Potter, LGBTI bullying in the Philippines and Christopher Pyne

Uncategorized

Shannon Power covers a shocking report that reveals serious discrimination against and bullying of LGBTI students in the Philippines. Ryan Thoreson from Human Rights Watch explains the extent of the problem and what they’re doing to fix it.

We then celebrate 20 years since Harry Potter and the Philospher’s Stone was released and the impact it had on the queer community. Harry Potter ‘super-mega-fans’ Jemima Skelley and Liam Esler talk about how the book series shaped their lives.

Finally Rodney Croome tells The Informer listeners if we should be excited by Christopher Pyne’s comments that marriage equality will happen ‘sooner rather than later’ in Australia.
